The building with the plant technology is now completely clad.
Components of the new system technology are already installed.

At the end of February 2017 the installation of the facade cladding could be started.
Also the carnival days did not stop the construction progress.
Since 1 September 2017, Bert Flöck has been the new head of the building department of the city of Koblenz. In the course of setting up the key components of the energy-related sewage sludge recycling plant, he and the managing director of KOPF SynGas GmbH & Co.KG, Dr. Mey, are convinced of the progress of the submeasure.
With suitable measures, even frosty days could not stop the progress.
After laying the basic pipes, the foundation work could begin.
The first excavations began in September.
On 30.08.2016, the head of the building department, Martin Prümm, who retired at the end of the month, performed the symbolic ground-breaking ceremony in the presence of Bernhard Mohrs, plant manager of the Koblenz municipal wastewater treatment plant, and Thomas Keßelheim, plant and project manager.

After the edges of the plant complex had been constructed, the area was sealed. On the one hand, it serves as a roadway for the delivery vehicles, and on the other hand, it is intended to protect the groundwater from the plant's discharges.
